Update on new Restaurant, Standard, Coming to 14th and S St, NW

Back in Feb. ’10 we learned that the old Garden District space at the corner of 14th and S St, NW would become a burger joint. A reader sends the heads up:

“I spoke to the guy and the girl out front and they told me that it’s going to be a burger/bbq/local stuff restaurant ”

So, I also headed over to the space and talked to some folks. And they also told me that the menu would be expanded from focusing solely on burgers to including a serious bbq component. Sweet! As you walk by you can now notice that some picnic tables are starting to be assembled. (In July we noted there would be a sidewalk cafe.) They hope to open this winter in what will be a soft opening since the majority of the space is outdoors. They can fit around 15 inside and around 99 outside. So in the spring time they will have a proper grand opening. I’ll be sure to update when opening dates are firmed up.
